DPreview.com Reviews the Kodak ProSLRc
For those that are interested in the newest full frame digital SLR for Canon mount lenses, check out Phil Askey's extensive review and samples. From the review conclusion:
"Get it right, shoot RAW, good light, low to medium ISO's and be careful about the development of your RAW images and you really can get some mind-blowing good resolution with rewarding image quality attributes (good dynamic range, good color). That's just where the SLR/c fits in, it's certainly not a camera for everyone, it's not a point and shoot digital SLR, it's a camera for enthusiasts who are ready to work around its quirks and utilize it as a photographic tool."

Underwater Housing for Fuji F710 Widescreen
Fujifilm today announced a secure underwater case to house the FinePix F710 Zoom, the first widescreen digital camera with the SuperCCD SR Sensor. Fujifilm's Super CCD SR provides a truer representation of the actual subject being photographed, revealing highlight detail and offering a four-fold increase in dynamic range. By using the innovative layout of paired photodiodes, the technology enables confident shooting in both bright and cloudy conditions, combats the bleached-out effect created by flash photography and increases exposure latitude - a great advantage in difficult lighting conditions.
